It also looks very easy to follow which means the Linkstation may be a good alternative for those daunted by a slug install.

Just need someone to verify it works now!!!

The devs at Linkstationwiki seem confident, but I’d like to see a post from someone with a 100% stock and unmodified LS say it worked for them. I had fiddled about a little bit with libraries before trying this out so there’s an outside chance I got something working by accident 😯 .

That said, assuming this process does work, then it is BY FAR the easiest way to get Firefly running on a NAS. I have a slug, and the reflashing from NSLU2 was by no means an enjoyable experience!! The Linkstation Live/Pro process really is a piece of cake, with no reflashing required. Splendid – all credit to the smart guys at Linkstationwiki.

Congratulations, the instructions are very good and even a Linux newbie like me could follow it without problems. 😀

But there is a big problem:

My Roku M1000 connects to the LinkStation and I can browse through my Songs (all in flac-format) but I can not play anyone of them. Additionally I added some Songs in MP3-format and they work, i.e. the Roku can play them without problem.

But for every flac-Song my Roku tells me that it can’t play that song and asks me if it should try the next one.

OK. This is entirely possible – I don’t have any flac encoded files. I’ll try to rip one and test myself.
